Teak vs rubber strips

[drdanj]

The teak interior steps, cockpit seats, and transom steps all have these rubber trim strips (attached photo). Most of thr rubber trim os in pretty good shape and I found a few extra strips I can use to replace the few missing pieces. I found a video about sanding and using black caulk, I don't want to do that, this looks like laminate over ply. I'd rather not do all that sanding anyway, especially in the cockpit.

Anyone have a good method for getting the old varnish off without sanding down/wrecking the rubber strips? Or just buy all new stripping?

New strips.  Or use non-skid tape.

My O400 steps had condition issue.  I just took a brute force approach with 4 off-the-shelf non-skid panels (silver grey see pic).  I just trimmed edges with a scalpel using a flexible metal straightedge as a guide.  I like the outcome.
